ComradeV. D. Bonch-Bruyevich,

TheState Publishers may be offended that I did
not send Krzhizhanovsky’s pamphlet through
them?[2]Perhaps I broke the rules? I was in a great hurry.

Ifit is inconvenient for you to settle the matter
otherwise, would you send this note of mine to Comrade Vorovsky
(I ask him to have a paper issued by the State Publishers
ordering the speediest, by Sunday 1.II, publication of
Krzhizhanovsky’s pamphlet at the 17th Print-shop,
formerly Kushnerev’s, and I apologise for having sent the
pamphlet direct to the press because I was in a great hurry).

Perhapsthis has already been done? If not,it must be
done. Give me your reply.

Yours,Lenin
